UFA SigningsCB Dre Kirkpatrick - Immediately will compete and should start at RCB opposite of Sherm. Has the needed size and length to perform in Seattle's defense. One of the NFL's premier corners against the deep ball last season.
Year 1 cap hit: 6.5M (2 years, 15M, 3M total guaranteed)

RB Adrian Peterson - A 1 year rental on a future HoFer. Whether Peterson has "it" still remains to be seen but the gamble is worth the price. Seattle is committed to working from under center and establishing a dominant run game. Peterson can be cut at no cost if Seattle's backfield steps up.
Year 1 cap hit: 8.6M (0 guaranteed)

RT Mike Remmers - Went for far cheaper than he should have after being force into spot duty at LT. He will compete at RT in Seattle, where he will be able to show off his dominant run blocking and solid pass protection.
Year 1 cap hit: 2.5M (1M total guaranteed over 2 years)

DE/DT Jack Crawford - Jack of all trades with a motor and experience along every position. Will be the primary backup to Bennett on run downs and can spell a couple different guys depending on the look.
Year 1 cap hit: 800K

FB James Develin - An old school brusing fullback on the cheap. Seattle needs to get back to an identitiy of pounding the ball and Develin gives us FB to do that.
Year 1 cap hit: 775K

DE Wes Horton - Cheap rotational depth as a pass rusher who will compete for a roster spot.
Year 1 cap hit: 690K (1 year deal)

NT Paul Soliai - A veteran with quite a few good years in the league. We have him on a 1 year deal as Reed's backup. He'll rotate so we can maximize him for 20-30 plays a game in run stopping situations.
Year 1 cap hit: 1M (1 year deal)

UT Jonathan Babineaux - A veteran with a knack for creating pressure from inside. He wont play a ton of snaps for us but has super bowl experience and the hunger to win one. He'll provide veteran leadership and a spark in the DL room as well as a situational role.
Year 1 cap hit: 1M (1 year deal)

TE Luke Willson - We did not expect to be able to resign Willson when the offseason began. The market wasn't what he hoped for and we believe we got a steal with Willson. He has mastered our offense and plays a vital starting role for us here opposite of Graham at an appetizing price tag.
Year 1 cap hit: 3.1M (2 years, 6.4M, 3M guaranteed)

A spectacular athlete with good length and a nastiness that an OL requires and can rarely be taught. He fits Seattle's zone scheme perfectly and is a true tackle, something Seattle hasn't been able to draft in a while. At 24, 25 when the season starts, age is obviously not ideal. However, there is a premium on the tackle position and Bolles in our minds is the only potential elite talent left.

King is too tempting off a prospect to pass up on. Excellent size and sthletic traits with experience in the nickel and at FS. He'll have a role as a matchup nickel CB for us right off the bat and gives us a backup FS who can fill the role better than Terrell ever did. He will be groomed as a future starter

A versatile player with great quickness and hips. He's a sound tackler and a great special teams coverage player who can play the nickel and FS spot in Seattle

Pick 194

Seattle selects Ethan Cooper, OG 4360

Small school guy with a massive frame and had great movement skills in on-field drills at the combine. Have not had a chance to watch a ton of film on him (haven't found much of anything) but willing to take a chance on this giant of a human

With picks 209, the Seattle Seahawks select...

4597 EDGE/LB Keion Adams

A player who should be talked about more, Adams has natural bend as a pass rusher and more than one move to fall back on. He shows explosion and nice agility. Seattle believes he can transition to SAM here in a Bruce Irvin type role.

4482 CB Jeremy Clark
At 6'3, 220, with almost 33" arms, Clark fits the mold of what Seattle likes with their corners. He has NFL athleticism and a willigness to play the run game. Clark is a developmental prospect with room to grow

Hey guys, nyjefferis runs a really cool Mock Draft during the offseason and I agreed to take on the role of Seattle's GM. We're just starting FA now. I signed Troymaine Pope, Shead, Brock Coyle, and Dewey McDonald (good ST player, didn't mean to do it but oh well)

Currently looking at guys to bid on for the first round of free agency. In opinions you have on FA and especially the draft will be welcome! I can use an extra set of eyes or ten. Please, critique and add insight!

First "big" move!

Seattle signs CB Dre Kirkpatrick in the first round of FA. He'll make 6.5M his first year to be the #2 CB. I would consider cutting Lane and letting Shead play the slot but we'd hardly save money so we'll ride out the year with Lane as the dime back and a STer. Kirkpatrick excels at playing the deep ball and has the length we covet. Cinci plays more of a press man scheme but I believe he can transition to our D with the right coaching. Shead imo is a more natural NCB and this will maximize his talents and allow us to play matchups_________________<Rammy

Signings:
HB Adrian Peterson - 1 year, 8.6M, none of it is guaranteed. It is a lot of money but there's also zero risk. We'll see how he looks in cap and preseason. If he has it still, our running game will be revived and then some. If he doesn't, we'll cut him with no penality

FB/TE Rhett Ellison - good blocker on the cheap

TE Luke Willson - Very familiar with our offense at a price point we thought was fair. We are a little shocked someone didn't offer him 5M+ a year but happy to have him back for two more years in an offense that loves two TE sets. With Jimmy on the final year of his deal, this gives us some flexibility with what we do there as well
